Google has acquired a start-up called BlindType that aspires to improve typing on Android and iOS mobile devices.

According to BlindType, the company is excited to join Google, and look forward to the great opportunities for mobile innovation that lie ahead. The company hasn’t released the software as yet.

Typing on mobile devices has gone through some significant modifications over the last few years. The emergence of the iPhone from Apple and the Android smartphones from Google has changed the way people look at word processing on their mobiles. BlindType believes it’s got a better method for matching the letters people actually typed with the ones they meant to type.

However, correcting words through BlindType requires the user to type the entire word first. The modification doesn’t really works on the Android text prediction technology. As of now, BlindType exists only on videos from YouTube and one must admit, the demos do not fail to impress.

According to BlindType’s FAQ, the technology works with any language and it can make a good combination with Google’s extensive and international data for automatic spelling corrections selected from its search engine. Terms of the deal are yet to be disclosed.
